I have ME, FIBROMYALGIA, IBS, RAYNAULDS, ASTHMA and OTTITUS (diagnosed 12 years ago).  In the past 2 years I have energy and breathing issues. I've had oxygen, carbon monoxide, cardio tests done but no answers. I constantly get costachondritus and a new symptom in November 2020 was burning and pulling sensation in the chest muscles along my spine. Mainly on my right but the last 2 weeks both sides in my back between my shoulder blades, tightness in the chest along with Costa pain. I have a terrible taste in my mouth of pure pure chocolate (salty and maybe dehydration?). I get tummy ache and sharp pain too. I had a chest xray 4 weeks ago and it showed something on my right side, now I need a ct thorax. I'm petrified it's cancer. Can anyone shed light for me please?

    Hi Jackpot,

    I only wish that we could shed some light on the cause of your symptoms. Unfortunately, there is no telling what this is until you have some more tests done. Your CT should be a start.

    It sounds as if you have had a rough time over recent years and I sincerely hope that you get some answers soon. I know just how worrying it is waiting for a diagnosis. Try to keep yourself busy whilst waiting for your CT - this should help to make the time appear to pass more quickly. Also, please stay away from 'Dr Google', as this will only scare you further for no useful purpose.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.


    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
